Captive Cetaceans are tragically sad compared to their free ranging families in the ocean. Throughout this blog I have tried to provide links to information stated enabling you to check things out and make your own minds up. Research really is the key, don't be told what to think and say, check it out for yourself.

In my opinion the last 2 groups can be ruled out as Sharkan was 4, Tanouk 3 and Ai and Ran 1-2, in that group there are 3 similar size and 1 smaller orca.

Same with the third group it would be 2 small.

Group 2 where Vigga is the small orca or group 1 where King is the small orca.

I came across this picture

left to right Bjossa, Finna, Benkei 2, Vigga

Benkei 2 was captured 1 month previously to the other 4 and was also under 1, you can see the size difference in the picture above. This is them arriving at Vancouver Aquarium. The Aquarium only wanted 2 orca keeping Finna and Bjossa, Vigga was sold to Marineland Africa (Six Flags) in 1981 to be a companion for Yaka and Benkei 2 was sold to Nanki Shirahama. As we all know Ulises wouldn't have come into it as he went round quite a few parks before finally arriving at Seaworld.

I think the orca being lowered into the pool is Ulises, and the 4 out on the slide out are Bjossa, Finna, Benkei 2 and Vigga being prepared for their flight to Vancouver.

What do you think, leave me a comment? With regards to Seaworld, they need to be honest and own what happened in Iceland as people like this will keep coming forward and they are the only facility in the world to take orcas in double figures out of the Icelandic population and they still have 4 in their tanks waiting to go one of 2 ways, either home so they can feel the ocean one again, but still receive human care or on the back of a flat bed. Which will it be Seaworld?
